John Kerry actually said...

"The President has made the determination that it is in our national interest to respond to Assad's use of chemical weapons with limited military force."

"We are not talking about America going to war. President Obama is not asking for a declaration of war."

"if Assad can gas his people with impunity, you will never get to Geneva, you will never have a negotiation"

"We are all concerned about the readiness of our military, and I hear it in different places."
